BAA - Bulldogs Across America

Thanks for your interest in the Bulldogs in the Big Easy summer internship program. As a Bulldogs program, BITBE is an incredible opportunity to get a taste of a city, gain meaningful work experience, and make lifelong friends with alumni and other students.

As a summer spent in New Orleans at this crucial juncture in its rebuilding process, BITBE means that you will be involved in changing the face of this city for decades to come and have the opportunity to spend some time in one of America's most unique cities.

Program work dates are May 29-July 27th, 2012

You will stay at Loyola University, loacted in the Uptown area of New Orleans. Note: Housing is provided free of charge to students (unless otherwise noted); unlike other Bulldogs programs, however, BITBE is unable to subsidize nonpaying internships. Some positions may offer compensation.

Students: New Orleans is surging with energy as it rebuilds. Please take a few minutes to explore our website and submit an application. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.

International Students: You will need to apply for permission from immigration to work off campus (Optional Practical Training) to engage in a BAA internship. OPT applications can take up to three months for immigration to process, so advance planning is required. These applications must be submitted through the Office of International Students and Scholars. For full information on the OPT application process go to http://www.yale.edu/oiss/ or contact monica.weeks@yale.edu
